If they win today, they'd be 19-11. Going 5-3 in next 8 would give them 24-14( 10 games over .500. ) in 38 games (or about 1st quarter of season) Thats on a pace for 96-56 record or approximately a 100-62 season!!
Indians on a 6 game winning streak, Royals quietly 15-10 and Twins and Sox seem to never die. Its possible AL Central is better than AL EAST.
Go Tigers!

Well we must have jinked them...I was hoping 7-1, HQ said 5-3 and so far they are 2-4....at 20-15 they are now tied with the Indians for first. The next three games vs the Astros are must win games IMO, to re-establish the momentum. In addition to having the Tigers sweep them in their own yard last weekend, the Astros have lost 8 of 10.

The Indians are playing the Yanks, who have been just as hot as Cleveland, so lets hope pinned striped road teams win that series.

OK game by Porcello today....and the first blown save by PapaGrande.....It's hard to win when your #4 and 5 hitters go for 0 for 9, strike out 5 times and leave 11 runners on base.

VMart has gotta step it up ....or we have to put someone in that five spot...I am thinking the pressure is on him...I know there is season to date stat for LOB....Leyland has to make the decision to maybe take the pressure off of VMart and move him to 6 or 7 until gets his stride going

I dont blame Papa for THIS loss cuz he shouldnt have even been in a save situation as you are right..VMart may have had his worse game all year. He needs a couple of days off. Fielder will lead league in walks at this pace, and he hit only 13 Hr's in 2011 on a GOOD knee. But based on his tep alone ,you got to leave him in the 5 hole. I would switch to this lineup:
